Debuting in June 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 is slowly but surely building up its library, a process that has barely started but is already quite exciting. At this point, the Switch 2 games calendar is not overly stuffed with releases, with most weeks including only a couple of newcomers; however, new titles are announced quite frequently, and there should always be something on the horizon that could tempt you to take out your wallet.
The gaming industry never sleeps, so keeping track of every upcoming Switch 2 game can be exhausting. Consequently, we’ve put together a breakdown of all the projects slated to launch on the console, and we are referring exclusively to native releases and not backward-compatible Switch titles. What are some upcoming 2025 Switch 2 games? Which title will define 2026?
The focus is on Switch 2 games confirmed for North America. Japanese-only releases will not be included, unless they are confirmed to be coming to the West.
Updated on October 4, 2025, by Mark Sammut: Not too many new Switch games were revealed over the last week, but the following titles were added to the calendar: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time – The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes , Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties , Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete Edition Remastered , Depth Loop , D-topia , Demi and the Fractured Dream.
Switch 2 Games Coming In October 2025
Pokemon, Borderlands, Persona, Dragon Quest, & More
While still early days, October 2025 looks primed and ready to be dominated by JRPGs. Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s pre-release marketing has attracted quite a bit of criticism, but it will still probably be one of the best-selling Switch 2 games of the year. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake should be a great throwback to classic turn-based JRPGs. Persona 3 Reload is also confirmed to be coming to the Switch 2, making October 2025 a brilliant month for JRPGs.
If you are looking for a creepy puzzle-platformer, Little Nightmares 3 should have you covered, and it even supports co-op. Besides the new game, the original title is also receiving an enhanced edition. Borderlands 4 is coming to the Switch 2 a bit late, which will hopefully allow for a smooth launch. During the September 12 Nintendo Direct, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 was announced, which is incredibly exciting.

From JRPGs to platform, racing, and fighting titles, here are all the big new PS5 games releasing in 2025 and later.
Switch 2 Games Coming In November 2025
Hyrule Warriors, Kirby, Dragon Ball, Yakuza, & More
So far, November 2025’s Switch 2 games lineup is shaping up pretty nicely, with a mix of ports and new games. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero and Yakuza Kiwami have been out for a while (or a long time in the latter’s case), but they are still big deals.
Kirby Air Riders is one of the Switch 2’s most highly anticipated exclusives; however, it no longer has to carry November on its own as Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will start the month on a huge note. The Musou game should be pretty awesome, as its predecessors were both a lot of fun.
November: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP

Switch 2 Games Coming In December 2025
Metroid Prime 4, Octopath Traveler 0, & More
OK, it is finally happening! Metroid Prime 4 is coming. This is not a drill. The Nintendo Direct on September 12 revealed that the long-awaited, long-desired sequel has an official release date, and it could very well be the biggest release of the final few months of the year.
Upcoming 2025 Switch 2 Games With No Release Date
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition & More
The Nintendo Switch 2 calendar for 2025 is still slightly open, and the console has a range of titles that are targeting debuts before the end of the year. Now, we cannot guarantee that will be the case until release dates for the Nintendo Switch 2 versions are announced. Ultimately, developers should take all the time they need to ensure they deliver the best iterations of each title, and rushing them out will do nobody any good.

Switch 2 Games Coming In 2026 Or With No Release Year
Fire Emblem, Duskbloods, Final Fantasy 7, & More
The Switch 2’s life has only just begun, and its future is bright but also mostly in shadow. What upcoming 2026 Switch 2 games will define the year? Will it be FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods? Maybe Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave? How about a new Mario Tennis?
There is, frankly, a huge chance that the biggest Switch 2 game of 2026 has yet to be revealed, which means that exciting times are ahead. Consoles tend to get things going with a few slow years that feature splashes of major releases rather than consistent output, so the Switch 2’s immediate future could be a bit slow.
